Upcoming Event details

Janey Devine FRPS: having had a career in IT, Janey was an early convert to digital photography, and bought one of the first digital cameras in 1998. Experimenting with a number of techniques she strived to produce an “impression” of the landscape, and was awarded her Fellowship of the Royal Photographic Society in 2008 with a panel of images taken in East Anglia. Her work though is now more focussed on documentary projects, in particular locally based long term projects. Janey was invited to join the Arena Group of photographers in 2016 and is also a member of the Focus Group.
Presentation: recently Janey has been working on a long term documentary project looking at some of the key issues affecting our city centres today. She will explain how the project developed, and how some decisions led her to rethink where the project was going. She will also talk about some of the challenges of taking environmental portraits, and how her photographic style has developed over the course of the project. Janey will also show some images from recent trips to the USA, and look at various different ways of sharing travel photography. Producing books is an important part of Janey’s work, and she will show a number examples of producing work in book format.
Janey is an exceptional photographer with an unusual style. An opportunity to learn about photography very different from the typical club scene.
